Prosecutors said the “O.C. flasher” case of a Mission Viejo man accused of exposing himself to dozens of people across Orange County could last up to a month because of the numerous charges and victims involved.

Christopher Holden Fenn, 46, is facing 56 counts of indecent exposure, one count of annoying or molesting a child under 18, and one count of assault with a deadly weapon, according to court records. A pretrial hearing for Fenn has been continued to May 29, when a Superior Court judge is expected to decide on a motion to drop about a dozen of the indecent exposure charges.

Since Fenn’s arrest in February 2008, prosecutors and Fenn’s attorney have been meeting in court, wrangling over what initially were about 90 charges. He was freed last year on $200,000 bail.

Fenn’s attorney, Joseph Low, filed a motion asking to drop several charges for lack of evidence, but the prosecutor in the case said he felt confident in moving ahead with all 58 charges against Fenn.

The case is scheduled to appear before a jury June 12, said prosecutor Robert Mestman.

After a series of reports over several years about a man exposing himself to people across the county, law enforcement officials dubbed the man the “O.C. flasher.” In February 2008, authorities accused Fenn, a Mission Viejo father of four, of being that man. He pleaded not guilty in March 2008 to indecent exposure, child annoyance and aggravated assault.

Recently, some parents have expressed concern after seeing Fenn at sports events with his daughter, who plays in a softball league.

Jim Amormino, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, said Fenn is not violating any laws by attending the sports events.

Fenn has been placed on GPS surveillance and is prohibited from contacting any of those said to be victims in the case, but he is not prohibited from attending sports events or parks, Mestman said.

Authorities last year said they suspected Fenn, 46, had exposed himself to 91 people – mostly women and some children – since July 2005, mostly in south Orange County.
